Essentially ALL TB programs funded by the U.S. Government were officially terminated last night. Horrifyingly, that includes the Global Drug Facility that coordinates the vast majority of TB treatment and tests purchased globally. Shuttering the GDF will stop TB treatment for the entire planet....

Heartening to see the genuine affection for @joyannreid.bsky.social shown by @maddow.msnbc.com @nicolewallace.bsky.social & @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com tonight & their deft weaving of their “despair” at Joy’s firing into a powerful discussion about what we must do to fight fascism.

Nothing to worry about, just an administration official suggesting that the DOJ may prosecute a member of Congress for advising people about their rights. Happening right now. Right in front of us.

One reason Donald Trump is going after USAID: Polls show Americans think foreign aid is about a quarter of the US budget. It's actually ~1%. Across the board there's a disconnect between actual gov't spending and perceptions of gov't spending. From the Brookings Institution:

Threats aside, Vance is also just full of shit. The U.S. seized 19kg of fentanyl at the Canadian border last year, or 0.19 percent of the total fentanyl seized. Meanwhile, in 2023, Canada seized 27,000 prohibited weapons at the border. The U.S. seized 459 weapons coming from Canada.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

The Commander in Chief is politicizing the deaths of not only 67 lives, but three Servicemembers. His hatred for those who serve knows no bounds. His disdain for women knows no limits. His empathy for those left behind is nonexistent. Absolutely DISGRACEFUL.

The major media is utterly failing to simply state that Trump is a vicious racist, who blames everything on presumed racial or ethnic minorities. How hard can it be to just say “In shockingly racist remarks Trump refuses to accept responsibility and blames deadly plane crash on minorities”

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, have a child with Down syndrome—yet he stood by while Trump attacked the disabled community. What Trump just said was unnecessary and cruel. They are gaslighting and looking for a scapegoat once again.
